Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the Federal Criminal Court's additional confiscation decision was filed within the statutory time limit.
Extracted holding
The appeal was filed too late because the complete decision was notified on 2009-09-18 and the deadline expired on 2009-10-19; posting on 2009-10-20 was untimely.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 100(1) LTF, the appeal must be filed within 30 days of notification, and under Art. 48(1) LTF the filing is timely only if handed to the post by the last day. Since the appeal was mailed the day after expiry, it was manifestly inadmissible and had to be dismissed under Art. 108(1)(a) LTF.
